Maximo Tuja, professionally known as Max-o-matic, is an artist, designer, and podcast host. His collages blend organic compositions with meticulously selected images, building dramatic narratives that blur time and space. As much of an illustrator as a collage artist, he is also an excellent curator and community organizer. He has brought together collage lovers from around the world through his platform, The Weird Show.
I work in contemporary collage as a way to re-signify elements of everyday culture in a way where the real adopts the form of the impossible. I create time tunnels, connections between parallel worlds. I’m driven by the tension between conceptualization and the thoughtless and impulsive act of creation. I aim to tell abstract stories that are reassembled and completed by the viewer.

Max-o-Matic was born in 1975 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is currently based in Barcelona, Spain.
